A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED WITH THE MAKING OF THIS VIDEO :)
If you have any questions then just put them down in the comments.
TIMESTAMPS:
Resistant Materials/ Product Design : 2.04
Graphic Products: Intro: 1.10 Talk: 11.25
Textiles: Intro: 1.29 Talk from Izzy: 16.54
Food Tech: Intro: 1.41 Talk: 22.54
This video is about what it's like to take GCSE resistant materials / product design, graphic products, textiles and food tech. I have asked various people who have taken this subject to talk about their experience of taking their tech subject. This includes what they did in year 10 and 11, what they did for coursework, what they liked and disliked about their subject etc.

This covers all plastic processes, this content features in all both AS and A2 exams, it is also common across all exam boards. For these exams it is useful to be able to make simple sketches of the processes shown.

Each year hundreds of new materials are developed. In many cases this is because a designer has identified the need for a product, but existing materials do not have the properties needed to make the design idea viable. One way to improve the properties of a material is to combine it with another material. A combination of different types of material is called a composite.

How do designers create products that meet user need and are inclusive? The two examples, drawn from: Resistant Materials (Children's bikes) and Graphics (mobile phone box/manual) show how designers: determine their market; consider users' values and needs; use ergonomic and anthropometric data and respond to the challenges of demographic change and inclusive design.
The DVD also contains extensive teachers notes and student activities and research tools written by the Design Council and the RCA Helen Hamlyn Centre.
"Excellent examples of how designers research and understand their end users needs. This well help A2 students who are studying end users requriemetns during their Unit 4 Product Design coursework research. "
Malcolm Cross, Head of D&T, Peter Symonds School, the largest centre teaching AQA A Level Product Design
Endorsed by Edexcel for use with their GCE in Design and Technology: Product Design.
Recommended by AQA in their resources list for their GCSE and GCE D&T specifications.

AS/A2 level revision video.
Looks at keywords in the syllabus.
Would also apply to GCSE Resistant Materials students.
More revision videos to follow.
For more (mainly Geography), see StockdaleB.
Good luck in your exams.

With extraordinary access to the latest research and development, this resource explores cutting edge smart materials finding out how they are made, how they work and what their potential applications are both now and in the future. Case studies include; shape memory alloys and thermochromatic plastics, as well as QTC and how it is being used by electronics companies to revolutionise touch screen technology and how smart organic compounds are making it possible to print electrical components onto plastic sheets.

Hello guys,
This is one of my Gadget Tidies. This design was made in Google Sketch-up for my D&T Resistant Materials Course Work. Currently, I passed my course work with an A and now I am waiting for my exam to come.
Hope you like my design and to make sure that is not copied or something like that just check the Google 3D Warehouse. I will share the design in October when I will finish the school completely. I made this product in real life but it requires a lot of sanding but as soon as I finish the product I will upload some pictures of it.

Plywood is a type of board made from sheets of wood, called wood veneers. They are then are glued together with the grains oriented in alternating directions. This video explains how the process of making plywood happens.

Grab yoursef pen and paper. When you hear the 'bing' pause the video and try to think of the most un-obvious answer to the question. The lower the score the better. Sorry about the brief loss of picture in the middle.
Do the quiz honestly and post your score.
Good Luck..
